All-Time Highest Grossing Hindi Films: Indian Box-Office

Hindi cinema continues to take new leaps, especially in terms of revenue generation. There was a time when the success of a film was measured in terms of the number of weeks it ran in the theatres. A successful run of 25 weeks meant Silver Jubilee, 50 weeks meant Golden Jubilee, and 75 weeks meant Platinum Jubilee. Today, even the most successful films only run for a few weeks. A film is deemed successful if it enters the '100 Crore Club'.

In the recent years, 200 Crore has become the new 100 crore. Even 300 crore is possible today. Perhaps, 400 crore is not looking far off with Dangal looking set to touch the magical figure.

Let's have a look at the all-time highest grossing films at the Indian box-office.
